    The Food tasted great, a little bummed we got charged $4 to get crudite and pita with the hummus, since I’m gluten free and my husband is not. We went for the $10 hummus at happy hour and got charged $14, which is a big up charge for a little bit of veggies. My husband also got sick after, we think it may have been the Cesar salad.

    The food and atmosphere were great! Much better than I expected and would return. Only complaint was I reserved this for my birthday and there were no birthday offerings, which I find odd for a popular restaurant in general.

    Food wasn't anything exciting. Ceviche smelled a little fishy (ripe). Prices were fairly high for what you get. Very noisy and echoey. Alcohol drink was very good, only redeeming thing. I wouldn't revisit it. Bastille was better (at this location previously).

    I can’t say enough great things about Sabine. As a first time diner I’m already looking forward to my ‘next time’ dining experience. The staff here is outstanding, funny and kind! The tomato salad with whipped feta should not be missed!
